Caregivers Commemorate
Child Abuse Victims
April is National Child Abuse Prevention month. As the region's only
free-standing hospital for kid's, Covenant Children's is committed to
doing our part in raising awareness of child abuse and neglect.
Caregivers and community members tied 735 blue
ribbons on the fence in front of Covenant Children's
to symbolize the 735 confirmed child abuse cases
in Lubbock County in 2023. The five white kites
represent the five children who lost their lives to
child abuse in our region in 2023, one of those being
in Lubbock County.
We tie these ribbons to honor each survivor and
remember each child who was taken too soon. We
pray that one day there be no more ribbons, because even one is too many.
Final Beans & Cornbread Lunch in the Books
Our 35th Annual Mayors' Beans & Cornbread Luncheon benefiting Hospice of Lubbock
was a success! The event featured performances by The Caldwell Collective Band, Jason
Fellers, Butch Avery, Kassidy King, Dustin Garrett and John Sprott.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and came out to support a great cause. With your
generous donations, Hospice of Lubbock can continue to provide care to unfunded and
underfunded, adult and pediatric, patients in the 19 counties we serve.
Hospice of Lubbock is the region's only faith-based, non-profit hospice care available for
adults and children. We remain committed to providing hospice care to anyone, regardless
of their insurance status or ability to pay.
